Loss of lc3b caused higher release of copper ions in lung tissue of mice upon CuONPs treatment. Wild type and lc3b-/- mice were intratracheally instilled of vehicle or 5 mg/kg CuONPs, respectively, then the lung tissues of indicated groups were collected 3 days after treatment. The concentrations of copper ions in the lung tissues were determined. *indicates p < 0.05 compared with indicated group
